On August 11, 2006, Organlive.com completed
3 years of broadcasting non-stop music of the organ. Organlive is an
Internet audio station dedicated to the music of the classical organ.
The station is free to all who wish to listen and funded entirely by
donations from listeners. While listening to a track on Organlive, the
listener is presented with information on the performer, the work, the
album, the composer, the organ, and is given links to where the album
may be purchased online. In addition, listeners can browse the
ever-growing library of more than 3600 tracks by organist, album,
composer, work, or organ and make specific requests. Listeners have the
ability to give instant feedback on each track which helps determine the
station's playlist and new acquisitions. The broadcast stream reaches
more than 70 countries each year and more listeners are tuning in each day.
The Organlive Library proudly features complete organ recordings from
the Albany Records and Raven labels, as well as many works from the
Hyperion catalog. Most recordings are donated to the station by record
labels or organists. The library contains both commercially released
albums as well as independently produced recordings of organ music from
all periods, hymns and a few organ-accompanied anthems.
Organlive is based in St. Louis, Missouri and can be heard anytime by
going to Organlive.com. Organlive is produced under the direction of
Brent Johnson with the help of volunteers Carrie Bradfield and Ben
Oberkfeld and countless generous donors. For more information on
